A Family Affair

Looking through old family photos is always a lot of fun. Especially when you get to one of those images that no one in the family recognizes. You wonder who in the world it is, and why in the world it's still in the box along with Johnny's first Christmas, and Cousin Laura's wedding.

Well, the Bushong family is no different. We have many wonderful images of the Bushong's and their friends and a number of fine pictures of "Young Miss Whoozit" and "Old Mr. Idaknow".

Enjoy looking through this album featuring all of the above.

Pull out your Bushong family tree and match the names with the faces to keep from getting yourself too confused.

Remember that you can click on each picture for a closer look.

Enjoy,

Anderson Bushong, possibly in the 1870's,
the girls are unknown

Anderson, his second wife Deliah,
and their daughter Mattie
probably around 1887 or so



Anderson and Delilah, later in life, sitting on the steps of their home.
The identities of the laughing girl and cute baby aren't known.



Jacob, Anderson's son, and a friend sitting in the yard
on the east side of the Bushong house.



Jacob and a friend at the newly
erected 54th Pennsylvania
monument.  Jacob inherited
the main house and surrounding
land from his aunt Betsy.  He
donated this portion to the veterans
of the 54th, who erected the monument.

Jacob's daughter, Ida Bushong Revell, and a friend
in the wicker sleigh that is currently a part of
the Virginia Museum of the Civl War collection.
On display during the winter months, it is worth
a trip to see it.
